All the wines you need and suggestions for pairing to prepare you for the fall season.
As the leaves turn golden and the air becomes crisp, there's no better way to celebrate the season than with a glass of exquisite wine and a table full of delicious food, accompanied by those you love. Fall is a time of gathering, of sharing warmth and joy. But whether you're hosting a cozy dinner party or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, choosing the perfect wine to complement your meal can elevate the experience to something truly memorable.
Here are some of the best fall wines and their ideal pairings to help you celebrate special occasions with the ones you cherish most.
Pinot Noir: If you like berries, spices, and earthy undertones, you’ll be sure to enjoy this light-to-medium bodied red wine. It is amazingly versatile and pairs beautifully with a range of fall dishes, which make it the perfect choice for Thanksgiving dinners. Your guests will love it alongside roasted turkey, mushroom risotto, or a hearty beef stew.
Chardonnay: This full bodied white wine is packed with rich flavors, including apple, pear, and notes of vanilla. It’s a great match for the creamy and savory dishes we all love during the fall season, like roasted chicken, butternut squash soup, or a rich pasta dish. Not only will this wine pair well with those foods, they will bring out its depth and character.
Zinfandel: A red wine with robust blackberry, plum, and peppery flavors, you’ll be sure to love. Zinfandel compliments grilled meats, barbecue ribs, and spicy sausages. This spicy and fruity wine is great to sip by the fireside on a chilly fall evening.
Riesling: This white wine ranges from dry to sweet, with hints of citrus and stone fruits like peaches and nectarines. If you plan to have pork tenderloin, roasted root veggies, or spiced apple tart, this wine will be the right choice for your menu.
Syrah/Shiraz: Syrah, or Shiraz is touted for its fruity flavors, smoky undertones, and peppery finish. It pleasantly stands up to hearty fall fare. A perfect match for lamb chops, beef brisket, or a creamy vegetable stew.
Sauvignon Blanc: A most refreshing and crisp white wine with a symphony of green apple, lime, and herbs. It compliments lighter cuisine, such as roasted pumpkin salad, goat cheese crostini, or seafood dishes. You’ll enjoy the balance of its brightness against the rich flavors.
Malbec: Deep flavors like plum, blackberry, and chocolate are the stars of this wine’s profile. You may like to indulge in this warming wine with grilled or roasted meats. A juicy steak, roasted game, or even cheesy casserole will do the trick.
No matter what wines you choose to enjoy this fall, remember that the best pairings come from sharing moments with the people you love. Raise a glass to the beauty of the season, the bounty of the harvest, and the joy of togetherness. Cheers to making memories that last a lifetime!
